I have been thinking through housing, affordability, and the effect on what until the last few years have been dead markets.

If you are doing delayed financing the loan would be based on LTC (loan to cost) and you would be getting purchase rates.

Low cost of living, strong job markets, and strong monthly rental growth in both these states have a lot to do with it too.

Do you know how to evaluate repair costs so you know what offer?

If you manage it and screw something up, you'll cost him a lot of money and you'll lose the friendship.

I heard some believe no local agent that knows what they are doing would  sign this and on the other hand some are very skeptical the city would even  enforce this given the domino effect it may create. since I am considering buying a new investment property in Cleveland I  would like  to know: are there any solution if the city decide to enforce this?

Everyone seems to talk about including the costs of the new mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance & capital reserves, and the vacancy projections when looking at realistic cashflow, which we already do for all the properties in our rental portfolio.But we, like many, cant find properties that are making any cashflow sense right now.

So if you pay off the balance every month on the first but the credit bureau reports on the second, then it might look like you're not using your credit and therefore doesn't have much of an effect on your score.

This would offer you the lowest out of pocket cost.

My tenant has been living in the condo for over a year and is out of the hospital and back at the condo.The new outside fire door costs over 3000 USD.
